Streck's Retic-Chex® Linearity, designed to establish the patient reticulocyte reportable range and linearity, is now assayed for the Sysmex® XN-Series (XN-10 & XN-20).

The accuracy of hematology instruments can be verified by comparing the laboratory's reportable range with Retic-Chex Linearity assays with instrument-specific values for reticulocyte percentages. Verification may be necessary when a new instrument or reagents are introduced, daily controls reflect an unusual trend or shift outside of the lab's acceptable limits, major instrument maintenance occurs or essential parts are replaced.
